Desktop effects are not supported...

[getintanked]

It really sounds like a driver issue to me. I had same thing happen, but with my Nvidia card...

Do you get any 3d acceleration at all? or is your only problem with desktop effects not working?

I think your right because google earth just doesn't work and the catalyst control center is a bit messed up in the 3d section.

I can't really see much happening on the ATI opensuse page.. Do you think we need to wait for a fix?

I found this on the forums:

ATI driver for 11.1 openSuSE - openSUSE Forums

"There may be problems with the driver, caused by the new kernel version, 2.6.27 used in 11.1; if that's the case then you'll have to wait until ATI release in January, or someone's found a work round, or patches go into SuSE kernel." ~robopensuse

try removing your old compiz config dir.

logout and log back in then try and enable the desktop-effects

I think there's a dir like that some where in kde but not sure of location.

could be located in .kde dir, sorry not real good with kde these days.

I have the same problem, using KDE 3.5.10 release 20.11 and Intel 965G graphics card.
Everything was working great on SuSE 11.0, I think was a big mistake the update to 11.1 too many bugs. Nothing work

I feel your pain!

I was really excited to update, It seems like we all made the same mistake!

I don't even think I can watch videos properly, they are so laggy and unwatchable.. It must be a driver problem like the guys said.

I'll tell you what richyf89....
I fix the compiz problem here:
Compiz Fusion - openSUSE
for the version 11.1
Now emerald is the pain, I don't have window frames. GRRR !!!
I saw several people with same problems here in the forums with emerald. Just we have to continue fixing this big mess.
BTY, about multimedia well another nightmare for me, after the update all my multimedia programs were deleted, smplayer, VLC, realplayer, XMMS even the codecs. Now I have to reinstall each one of them.
This update 11.1 killed my weekend.

Have you added this section composite is on in your xorg.conf?

[richyf89]

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "On"
EndSection

I added this. Is that right? Is there anything more you need to do after adding this to the xorg.conf file?
